Although its name might suggest that it's taking after HTC's acclaimed One flagship , the One Max is more accurately designed like a supersized version of the HTC One Mini , which wasn't quite as sexy. While the One's trademark curves and silver aluminum...

Raw benchmark scores can be misleading since there’s been quite a bit of talk lately about benchmark cheating. The One Max has some stiff competition from another well-liked phablet, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. In some benchmarks, the One Max earns...
